1 Choose the right platform

Different social media platforms have different features, audiences, and cultures. You want to choose a platform that suits your goals, your clients' preferences, and your ethical standards. For example, if you want to create a private and safe space for your clients to communicate, you might opt for a closed Facebook group, a Slack channel, or a Discord server. If you want to reach a wider and younger audience, you might use Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. If you want to share educational or inspirational content, you might use Twitter, LinkedIn, or Medium.

Social media already feels like an echo chamber sometimes as you have to peel through the noise, when choosing a platform you need to focus on the medium you present your content and typical user of the platform, for example LinkedIn video does worse than written content, the same way faced paced consumable content reins on TikTok

I feel social media is a blessing and a curse you have 50% of the comments that will be supportive and you will have 50% of the comments that will be toxic and supportive. I find the best way to create a strong client base is word-of-mouth. Word-of-mouth is the way that people have been communicating for centuries, and it still holds true today. Create your client base through your integrity in what you deliver your honesty, your passion, and more importantly, your desire to help with the clients problems.

2 Set clear guidelines and boundaries

Before you invite your clients to join your social media community, you need to establish some ground rules and expectations. These should include the purpose and scope of the community, the roles and responsibilities of the facilitator and participants, the norms and values of the community, the privacy and confidentiality policies, the moderation and feedback mechanisms, and the crisis and emergency protocols. Additionally, it is important to communicate your own boundaries as a peer support provider, such as your availability, your level of involvement, and your limits of expertise. This will ensure a trusting and respectful environment while also protecting yourself from burnout and liability.

In my personal opinion, if you have to give something away to have a client promote your own social media, it’s an in ingenuous feedback don’t do it.

3 Engage and empower your clients

Once you have set up your social media community, you need to keep it active and meaningful. You can do this by posting relevant and useful content, such as tips, articles, videos, podcasts, or quotes; asking open-ended and reflective questions; encouraging and acknowledging your clients' contributions; facilitating and participating in discussions, debates, polls, or challenges; inviting and connecting your clients with other experts, resources, or opportunities; and celebrating and rewarding your clients' achievements, milestones, or feedback. The aim is to foster a sense of belonging, support, and empowerment among your clients while helping them learn from each other's experiences and perspectives.

4 Monitor and evaluate your impact

Finally, you need to track and measure the effectiveness of your social media community. This can be done by collecting and analyzing data, such as engagement metrics, feedback surveys, or testimonials. It's also important to identify and address any issues, such as conflicts, complaints, or risks. You should adjust and improve your strategies accordingly, such as content, format, or frequency. Additionally, seek and apply feedback from clients, peers, or supervisors. Lastly, report and share your results with stakeholders, funders, or your network. The aim is to ensure that your social media community is meeting your objectives, your clients' needs, and your ethical standards while demonstrating your value and impact as a peer support provider.
